As early as 1500 years ago, Changsha was once a king, and the famous Western Han Dynasty Changsha country also enjoyed a reputation of more than 200 years. Since then, many dynasties have sealed Sand King, such as Sima Yi of Changsha in the Western Jin Dynasty, Liu Daolian of Changsha in the Song Dynasty, Huang Xiao of Changsha in the Qi Dynasty, Xiao Yi of Xuanwu of Changsha in the Liang Dynasty, Chen Shujian, Li Ke, Dangren Xiang and Luo of Changsha in the Tang Dynasty. , but they only ate Changsha tax, were blocked, and did not go to the country. Even the small imperial courts in the Central Plains, such as the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, once sealed Sand King for a long time, but they didn't even enjoy the rent of Changsha, only took Changsha as a good name from a distance. Therefore, after the abolition of Changsha in the Western Han Dynasty 1 0,000 years, the kings of Changsha in previous dynasties were just empty seals, which no longer had the meaning of enfeoffment.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Zhu Yuanzhang, in view of the lesson that the emperor screen was not built in Song and Yuan Dynasties and the royal family was isolated, sealed his children and enfeoffed the princes with reference to the system of Han, Jin and Southern Dynasties, in an attempt to permanently preserve the rule of the Zhu Ming Empire. According to the enfeoffment system of the Ming Dynasty, the prince was created as a prince and received gold books, treasures and stones. Its fiefs were used to build palaces and officials, and the specifications of its palaces, crown clothes and car flags were second only to those of the emperor. All ministers and princes should bow down and worship the tune, and their status is extremely noble. The king is not the responsibility of the people in the fief, but has the right to unify the army. All the prepared palaces have guards, with 3,000 soldiers and nearly 20,000 soldiers. Moreover, there must be a decree from the prince to mobilize the local garrison. As a result, the vassals who were enfeoffed to various places became the figures who monitored the local military power on behalf of the emperor, and the kingdoms became military centers. Changsha, as a famous city in Wang Jianguo and an important place of Huxiang Army in history, has been a dependency of Zhu since the beginning of Ming Dynasty. Four princes were sealed successively, namely Zhu Zi, Zitan Wang, Zhu Zi, Gu Wang, Zhu Zhan, Xiangzi Wang of Renzong Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Jianjun of Jizi Jane of Yingzong Zhu Qizhen. Ji Wang has been handed down for seven generations, so there are 10 kings. Over the past 200 years, the princes and grandchildren living in Changsha have held the dignity of the son of heaven and lived in the same city as Taoist, political and county officials, giving Changsha a mysterious aperture and a strong political color of princes.
Wang Tan Zhuzi was the eighth son of Zhu Yuanzhang. He was sealed in 1370 (the third year of Hongwu) and became a vassal of Changsha in 1385. At that time, the Ming Dynasty had built a palace for him and set up the Changsha Guards, with 3,000 soldiers. The palace was built in the former site of Marshal's Mansion in Hunan Province in the Central Plains of Changsha City. It covers a vast area, with towering walls, gates outside and royal palaces inside, which is quite a vassal style.
According to Biography of Kings in Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xi was "studious" and good at writing articles. When he was in Changsha, he often called Wang Fu's Confucian scholars to drink and write poems, and personally evaluated them. Others say that he is "very kind to the people" and often rides a white horse in and out of the suburbs. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang founded a party prison in Daxing, and the law was tight. 1390 (in the 23rd year of Hongwu), it was Tan Fei's father and younger brother Yu who were killed because of the "Hu case". Zhu Xi was frightened. When the Emperor Tai Shang called him into the palace, he and Yu Jia set themselves on fire and died. The first generation of Changsha captaincy was gentle and elegant, but it destroyed itself under the party ban, which aroused people's infinite sympathy. Xia Yuanji, a famous minister in the early Ming Dynasty, and Yuan Zongdao, a famous poet in the late Ming Dynasty, wrote poems to mourn.
After King Tan, Chen lived a miserable life alone in Changsha Palace, spending 12 spring and autumn. 1402 l 1 month, another valley king, Zhu Feng, went to Changsha and became the palace master.
Zhu is the nineteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang. During the Hongwu period, Xuanguanju (now Xuanhua, Hebei Province) lived in Xuanguan. Because the official residence is an ancient valley, it is called the Valley King. 1402, moved to Changsha because he opened the door of Jinchuan in Nanjing and took refuge in Judy, the prince of Yan. Zhu is treacherous and vicious, and even more arrogant in Changsha. At the beginning of Yongle, Shang Shu and his former head of household, Zhong Bu Ru, returned to their hometown in Hengshan. As they failed to go to Wang Fu to pay homage when they were in Changsha, he actually played Judy and was found guilty. Ru went to prison for this and committed suicide by drinking medicine. Since then, Zhu has been "arrogant and domineering", occupying people's land, invading public taxes and killing innocent people. Shi Yuting, the palace master, has just advised him several times. Instead of listening, he framed Ting Gang for slandering the prince and dismembered him and put him to death.
With the expansion of power, Zhu's ambition also expanded rapidly, even to the point of rebellion. To this end, he recruited fugitives everywhere, fought the art of war, built warships and built Buddhist temples. "Too many monks and too few porridge is a disaster." He and Zhang Cheng, the commander-in-chief of Changsha Wei, eunuchs Wu Zhi and Liu Xinmi called each other "respecting teachers and respecting morality" and Wu and Liu Xinmi called each other "country guy". They conspired to offer lanterns in Beijing during the Lantern Festival, choose the music taught by strong men, and enter the palace with them, waiting for the gap to change. He also wrote a letter to Chunzhu, the king of Shu in Chengdu, "I want to help Shu". Later, the son of Shu merchants came to Changsha to avoid sin. Zhu hid him in the palace and said to everyone, "When I release Emperor Jianwen through Jinchuan Gate, I will declare my righteousness for him now, and it will come true one day."
Zhu's arrogance was about to revolt, which quickly attracted the attention of the outside world. Soon, the King of Shu and the Chief Guard of Valley Palace successively went to Beijing, exposing Zhu's plot. Ming Taizu did not take immediate measures, ordered Zhu to go to North Korea to see him, and sent him back to Shu. On February 22, 14 17 (the sixth day of October, 15th year of Yongle), Zhu and his two sons were abolished, so that many of his officials died and the coup plot was smashed. Legend has it that after Zhu was abolished, he was cornered and avoided becoming a monk in the deep mountains 70 miles west of Changsha County. Its mountains and valleys are deep, and the John John Bowring Temple built by Tang Sanzang is magnificent. Zhu Dun disappeared in this fireworks clock for the rest of his life, and this mountain was later called Gushan.
After the abolition of the Valley King, Changsha Wang Fu changed doors twice. First, Zhu Zhan, the eighth son of Injong, went to Changsha on 1429 (the fourth year of Xuande). Half a century later, Zhu Jianjun, the seventh son of Injong, entered the palace. Here, the Ming dynasty governors have long lost their former authority, and Changsha Guards, who were originally relatives of the governors, have also withdrawn. Zhu Zhan is the "longest and most intelligent" among the kings, and "Zhuang Jing is well-known", which makes him very cautious. Eight years later, he moved to Xiangyang in 1436 (the first year of orthodoxy).
Zhu Jianjun, king of Ji Jian, was the longest-lived Changsha king in Ming Dynasty and the only heir to the throne. 1477 (in the 13th year of Chenghua), Zhu Jianjun, then 20 years old, came to Changsha. At the beginning of the vassal, he rebuilt the original Wang Fu on a large scale, and built a magnificent Wang Fu in Kyrgyzstan with "numerous labor services and huge financial expenditure". According to records, there are four gates in Jiwangfu, namely Li Duan in the south, Tieren in the east and Zunyi in the west. Outside the south gate, there are five stone workshops with four magnificent buildings inscribed with "Fanping Wangcheng". There are military camps in all four gates, and there are 1769 households living in the Forbidden City. There are Wang Dian Dian Dian, academies, temples and warehouses in the city, and there are more than a dozen yamen outside the city, such as General History Department, Instrument and Health Department, Judicial Department and Jishan Department. Its palaces, pavilions and ponds are all over the northeast and north of Changsha Fucheng, and even "the interior of the city belongs to Wang Fu". Wang Fu's land is not only inaccessible to ordinary people, but also "not allowed to be invaded" by Changsha officials and police. Dependence right of the government of the buffer region
Situation autonomy, even intervention in local government affairs, "elbow"; "Traitors cause trouble", the local officials dare not ask, "Don't check". Ji became a city in Changsha, a country in the city.
Changsha vassal played a certain role in stabilizing the rule of Ming Dynasty in Changsha and even Hunan, but it also greatly increased the burden of Changsha people. Zhu was born in the royal family, and his children have always been well-fed and pampered. The queen has a large number of attendants, as well as a large number of officials and bodyguards. The expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation are very high, and they all fall to the local area. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Tan Wang was a vassal, aged 10, who was allocated from Changsha's rent tax. Ji Wangchu occupied more than 30,000 mu of land at the beginning, with a cash register of four points per mu, which increased to 46,000 mu in Wanli (1573- 16 19). Wangzhuang Garden increased, but the grain tax of the imperial court did not decrease, and the local officials had to share it equally, which greatly increased the grain tax of Changsha. In addition, all kinds of support and labor of the court were also imposed on the people through county officials. In the middle and late Ming dynasty, the court was in financial difficulties and the king spent more money. In addition, "Changsha has a vast territory and abundant resources, producing millet", and the five palaces, such as Jing, Liao, Rong, Chu and Mian, give firewood, worth more than 80 thousand taels of silver. Such a heavy burden is unbearable for the people, and even some local officials are deeply resentful. They once shouted: "The life of the vassal States is thriving" and "The people of Changsha are miserable!"
By 1636 (the ninth year of Chongzhen), Zhu Ci, the seventh generation of Ji Wang, was enthroned. At this time, the peasant uprising from northern Shaanxi has swept across the Central Plains, the Qing Dynasty established by Manchu nobles is regarded as a place outside the customs, and the Zhu Ming Dynasty is in jeopardy. 1643 (in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen), Zhang led the peasant army of Daxi into Hunan and conquered Changsha in one fell swoop. King Zhu Ci of Kyrgyzstan fled in a panic, and Wang Fu of Kyrgyzstan, which stood in Changsha, was also reduced to ashes in a fire.
